1. A cargo management system for use in a truck bed, comprising:
a floor panel placed on a floor of the truck bed, said floor panel including a locking structure disposed generally along lateral side edges thereof; and
a first sidewall panel and a second sidewall panel disposed in a transversely spaced relationship, each of said sidewall panels disposed above said floor panel, and each of said first and second sidewall panels including an upper lip portion adapted to be received under an upper cap of a respective truck bed sidewall and including a lower lip portion adapted to be received by said locking structure of said floor panel for fixing said first and second sidewall panels in said truck bed, at least one of said first and second sidewall panels having a storage box integrally formed therein.
2. The cargo management system of claim 1 , wherein said first sidewall panel and said second sidewall panel each include a fixed sidewall portion and a side extension wall slidably attached to said fixed sidewall portion;
said side extension walls each include a locking mechanism for fixating a position of said side extension walls respective to said respective fixed sidewall portions.
3. The cargo management system of claim 1 , wherein said first and second sidewall panels are fixed to respective walls of the truck bed by engaging said first and second sidewall panels to tie-downs disposed on respective walls of the truck bed.
4. A cargo management system for use in a truck bed, comprising:
a floor of the truck bed including a locking structure disposed generally along lateral side edges thereof;
a first sidewall panel and a second sidewall panel disposed in a transversely spaced relationship, each of said sidewall panels disposed above said floor, and each of said first and second sidewall panels including an upper lip portion adapted to be received under an upper cap of a truck bed sidewall and including a lower lip portion adapted to be received by said locking structure of said floor of the truck bed for fixing said first and second sidewall panels in said truck bed, at least one of said first and second sidewall panels having a storage box integrally formed therein.
5. The cargo management system of claim 4 , wherein said first sidewall panel and said second sidewall panel each include a fixed sidewall portion and a side extension wall slidably attached to said fixed sidewall portion;
